Yuan Shu Jingzhou was defeated when Sun Jian was broken, for Yuan Shu, the territory was not reduced, but the military strength was reduced, but his foundation was still there, but he was beaten by Cao Ying and could only flee to Yangzhou Jiujiang, Yuan Shu turned from prosperity to decline, and wanted to enter the Central Plains again, it was difficult to climb to the sky.

After escaping to Jiujiang, Yuan Shu called himself "Xuzhou Bo", Xuzhou Tao Qian felt inexplicable, and the people of the world did not know what kind of official position Xuzhou Bo was, Yuan Shu's strength was greatly reduced, and there happened to be two groups of people who took advantage of the fire to rob, one is the new Yangzhou assassin Liu Xuan of the imperial court, Yuan Shu appointed a lot of officials in Yangzhou in the past, but in fact Yuan Shu did not really hold Yangzhou in the palm of his hand, which is very similar to Guo Jia in Yizhou in the early stage, when a new force intervened, Yuan Shu's rule in Yangzhou had a crisis of collapse. The second is that Sun Ce returned to Yuan Shu's account with the Danyang soldiers recruited by his uncle Wu Jing for him, and re-assumed the identity of his father Sun Jian under Yuan Shu's account, a guest general, but Sun Ce also brought his family with him, the purpose was to dispel Yuan Shu's worries, and Sun Jian's old department Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals were all under Sun Ce's account.

Yuan Shu was defeated in the south, turning from strong to weak, and Gongsun Zhan, who was on the same side as him against Yuan Shao, also suffered his first fiasco in Hebei.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan fought at the boundary bridge, at first Yuan Shao's high hopes for the Euphorbia Soldier Regiment led by Zhang Jaw, but it could not resist Gongsun Chan's White Horse Righteous Servant at all, the reason is that although the Euphorbia is a heavy armor elite, but the Euphorbia is a melee soldier, in the face of the meteor is generally good at controlling the strings of the White Horse Righteous Servant, there is no power to fight back, and the person who turns the tide and reverses the defeat is Ju Yi who Yuan Shao does not value, Ju Yi is not valued by Yuan Shao because of Ju Yi's background, but Ju Yi is good at fighting, and the "first dead soldier" is equipped with a strong crossbow, In one fell swoop, he defeated the invincible white horse righteous servants under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and the mutual restraint of the troops was vividly reflected in this battle.

Yuan Shao won a great victory in the battle of Jieqiao, and the confrontation between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao in Hebei changed from offensive to defensive, and Yuan Shao seized the initiative from then on, but Gongsun Chan was not defeated like a mountain, and his strength was still there.

Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shu of a north and a south were defeated by Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, the warlord group headed by Yuan Shao turned from defense to attack, in just a few years, a Bohai Taishou, a Dongjun Taishou, a Han clan with nothing, but suddenly became a powerful prince that no one dared to underestimate, Yuan Shao was like a rainbow in Hebei, Cao Ying rose like a comet in the Central Plains, Liu Biao resisted a strong enemy in the south, on the other hand, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Chan led the warlord group, wanted to reverse the defeat, and had no power.

At the same time, in Chang'an, Li Dao Guo Yan was worried about preventing the Kwantung princes from coming to crusade against them, and used the name of the imperial court to create some small troubles for the Kwantung princes, such as before Cao Ying was elected as the pastor of Yanzhou, Li Dao Guo Yan sent a Yanzhou assassin to take office, but was sent back to Chang'an by Cao Ying.

Li Dao and Guo Yan could only affect the situation in the Kwantung region through such small actions, but to their delight, the righteous army who hanged the people did not wait, but waited for the envoy of Cao Ying's tribute.

In the past, Cao Ying followed Yuan Shao to hold the banner of the Kuangfu Han Dynasty, but now, he listened to the advice of his adviser Mao Jue: Serve the Son of Heaven to order not to obey!

Therefore, Cao Ying did not sit in the position of Yanzhou pastor through Yuan Shao's protection, but personally sent an envoy to Chang'an to the imperial court, so that the imperial court could correct his name as Yanzhou pastor.

Since the Kwantung princes did not come to crusade, Li Dao Guo Yan was also happy to see this situation, so he helped Cao Ying to sit on the position of Yanzhou pastor.

It's another spring coming, Guo Jia has no distractions, the Central Plains is a situation he longs to see, he just watches the play on the sidelines, and develops and grows himself, and when the time comes, he will raise troops and forge ahead.

On the side of the martial arts training ground in the General's Mansion, Guo Jia sat under the tree to enjoy the shade, his back was comfortable on the rocking chair, and he took a sip of tea from time to time with a teacup, but Guo Ye on the martial arts training ground was not so relaxed.

The warm breeze in spring is slow, but Guo Ye is sweating, and he is like a stove, gritting his teeth and stubbornly standing firmly, striding his horse, from early morning to noon, not moving at all, sometimes crumbling but cheering up after Xiao Yi walked in front of him, and continued to persevere.

Martial arts practitioners must first be stable, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is basic to be able to stand firm, so although Zama is hard, this is the basis for martial arts.

A person came from outside, came to Guo Jia's side and saluted, Guo Jia patted the empty rocking chair beside him, stretched out his hand and said, "Yuan Zhi, sit." ”

The rocking chair was built recently, Xu Shu was the first time to see it, after sitting down, his body shook, he was startled when he lost his center of gravity, and it took a while to get acquainted with it, he swayed and enjoyed it very much, and said with a smile: "Lord, you can always do amazing things." ”

Guo Jia stretched his waist, tilted his body, turned sideways towards Xu Shu, and asked, "Yuan Zhi, you have nothing to do, let's say, what are you arguing about?" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "The lord guessed wrong, I came here to tell the lord a news, Cao Ying sent someone to Chang'an to watch the Son of Heaven, and the court named Cao Ying as the pastor of Yanzhou." ”

The flat expression suddenly became a little excited, and Guo Jia forced to ask, "Really?" ”

Xu Shu stroked his beard and smiled, and confirmed: "It's true." ”

Sitting up from the rocking chair, Guo Jia stood up and paced back and forth, his expression changing, but the implied ecstasy was still obvious.

Cao Ying's request to add the title of Yanzhou Mu seems to be similar to Yuan Shao's "contracting" appointment of officials and then going to the court, but in fact it has a completely different meaning, first of all, Cao Ying's attitude towards the imperial court, recognized the current authority of the imperial court, and exchanged courtesies, and the imperial court also expressed friendship to Cao Ying and agreed to Cao Ying's request, and the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo has never recognized the officials appointed by the princes privately. Starting from the overall situation, Cao Ying has begun to respect the Son of Heaven and is no longer restrained by Yuan Shao, which is a sign of the breakdown of the alliance within the warlords headed by Yuan Shao, both of which are beneficial to Guo Jia.

After a pause, Guo Jia said to Xu Shu: "Go and let Zhicai, no, let Zi Meng write me a table, send someone to Chang'an, and let the court make me the pastor of Yizhou." ”

Xu Shu smiled, took out a watch and presented it to Guo Jia, and said: "Everyone asked Zhicai to write by himself, but Zhicai said that Zi Xian was brilliantly written, so Zi Xian wrote, and everyone felt that it was no problem after reading it, and now please take a look at it." ”

is really comprehensive, Guo Jia has the assistance of these powerful ministers, it is like God's help, I can't help but take the watch and take a look, Guo Jia's face is getting heavier and heavier, and after reading it, he laughed a few times.

The content of this table is really righteous and awe-inspiring, and he lashed out at Liu Yan's transgression, and stated his unsubservient actions when he was in Yizhou, and then Guo Jia led the army to capture Yizhou just lightly said that it was for the Han family to hoe and destroy the thieves, and now Guo Jia has made remarkable achievements in Yizhou, protecting the territory and the people and making Yizhou Yan Ran peaceful, and the imperial court should seal him as the pastor of Yizhou, which is what everyone expects.

The so-called justification, the focus of this table is that Liu Yan does secretly have the heart of being the emperor, which is not tolerated by the Han family and the world, Guo Jia is a righteous teacher, and he has eliminated rebellion for the Han family, which is a credit that cannot be ignored!

"Zi Xian's list really makes me feel ashamed." No matter how thick-skinned Guo Jia is, he can't resist Qin Mi to give him the title of a hero of the Han family.

However, the content of this table is not all black and white, sophistry is right and wrong, Liu Yan is not a subordinate, and the court also knows that Guo Jia killed Liu Yan to help the Han family clean up the door, but whether Guo Jia is loyal to the Han family is debatable.

"Lord, if you don't think you need to modify this table, then send it to Chang'an?"

Xu Shu is here for official business, so hurry up and work.

Guo Jia came back to his senses, handed the watch back to Xu Shu, and said with a smile: "No need to change it, in order to avoid a long night of dreams, send someone to send it to Chang'an overnight, if Li Ji Guo Yan has any requirements, Xiaoli will meet them without any trouble, if the lion opens his mouth, hehe, I hope they have the courage to take risks." ”

Guo Jia expected that he would send this table, Li Dao Guo Yan could only have two reactions, either agree or not agree, if he agreed, Guo Jia could pay some price in exchange for a justifiable Yizhou Mu, but if the other party did not agree, would Li Dao Guo Yan be afraid that Guo Jia would be angry and waved Guanzhong? As long as they feel that it is more beneficial to provoke Guo Jia than to appease Guo Jia, and they can bear the consequences, then they can ignore Guo Jia.

"Yuan Zhi, do you like this chair? I'll order someone to build more and send you a few handfuls. Guo Jia personally sent Xu Shu away.

When he walked back, Guo Jia was still thinking about his thoughts, but there was a plop on the martial arts training ground, which made him look up and find that Guo Ye couldn't hold his butt and fell to the ground.

stepped forward to pick up his son, Guo Jia beckoned Xiao Yi to rest under the tree for a while.

"Lord, the little boy is much better than I was back then, when I first practiced martial arts, Zama Bu was able to hold on for two hours, but the little boy lasted for nearly three hours, and he was so young."

After Xiao Yi sat down, Guo Jia personally poured him a glass of water, and said casually: "You can't say that, the child's heart is surname, and he may have the patience to learn on a whim, if he is allowed to practice like this for ten years, maybe he will give up halfway, you, don't call him a little boy, child, you are his elder, call him Ye'er, he should also respectfully call you Master, at a young age, if you don't respect your elders, you will not be lawless when you grow up?" Ye'er, did you hear that? ”

Guo Ye, who was sitting on Guo Jia's lap, nodded dizzily, and said respectfully to Xiao Yi, "Master Xie taught Ye'er." ”

Xiao Yi wanted to speak and stopped, but finally shook his head with a wry smile.

"Have you and Xiao Ren's wedding date been set?"

Guo Jia probably knew that the two brothers would get married in the spring, but the exact time was not known.

Xiao Yi held the cup and said softly: "It's settled, the first day of the next month." ”

Guo Jia was happy and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good." What is needed, just open your mouth. ”

Xiao Yi smiled but did not speak, and his lowered gaze was a little trance.

Over the years, Guo Jia has privately rewarded their two brothers with countless rewards, and if the Xiao family really wants to count the family property, I am afraid that Chengdu will also rank among the richest families.
